???? Volcanic activity
Palma is a volcanic island, second among the Canary Islands in terms of volcanic activity. Eruptions in Cumbre Vieja were recorded in 1470, 1585, 1646, 1677, 1712, 1949, 1971 and 2021.

???? In 1646, the eruption destroyed the healing springs (according to legend, curing leprosy). In 1712, there was a powerful earthquake that flooded much of the southwestern side of the island with lava.

⏱️ 1949 eruption
In 1949, 3 volcanic craters - Durassnero, San Juan and Hoyo Negro - began to show activity and erupt lava. 2 earthquakes accompanied the eruption, with an epicenter near Hedei. As a result, a fault was formed about 2 kilometers long and part of the western half of Cumbre Vieja moved 1 meter to the side and 2 meters down towards the Atlantic Ocean. In 2008, traces of a fault were visible, which also retained its 1949 dimensions. As a result of the eruption at an altitude of 1,902 meters, the Del Durasnero crater was formed.

⏱️ 1971 eruption
In 1971, the Tenegia volcano erupted, mainly the eruption belongs to the Strombolian type. Lava was also thrown away. No seismic activity similar to the events of 1949 appeared.

⏱️ 2021 eruption
On September 19, 2021, an eruption began, which led to the evacuation of the settlements of El Paso and Los Llanos de Aridane.

About La Palma Island, (Courtesy of Wikipedia):

La Palma, also San Miguel de La Palma, is the most north-westerly island of the Canary Islands, Spain. La Palma has an area of 708 square kilometres (273 sq mi) making it the fifth largest of the seven main Canary Islands. The total population at the start of 2019 was 82,671, of which 15,716 lived in the capital, Santa Cruz de la Palma and about 20,467 in Los Llanos de Aridane. La Palma has sister city status with El Dorado Hills, California. Its highest mountain is the Roque de los Muchachos, at 2,423 metres (7,949 ft), being second among the peaks of the Canaries only to the peaks of the Teide massif on Tenerife.

In 1815, the German geologist Leopold von Buch visited the Canary Islands. It was as a result of his visit to Tenerife, where he visited the Las Cañadas caldera, and then later to La Palma, where he visited the Taburiente caldera, that the Spanish word for cauldron or large cooking pot – caldera – was introduced into the geological vocabulary. In the center of the island is the Caldera de Taburiente National Park; one of four national parks in the Canary Islands.

Like all of the Canary Islands, La Palma originally formed as a seamount through submarine volcanic activity. La Palma is currently, along with Tenerife, the most volcanically active of the Canary Islands and was formed three to four million years ago. Its base lies almost 4,000 m (13,123 ft) below sea level and reaches a height of 2,426 m (7,959 ft) above sea level. About a half a million years ago, the Taburiente volcano collapsed with a giant landslide, forming the Caldera de Taburiente. Erosion has since exposed part of the seamount in the northern sector of the Caldera. Since the Spanish have kept records,[when?] there have been seven eruptions – all of which have occurred on the Cumbre Vieja:

1470–1492 Montaña Quemada
1585 Tajuya near El Paso
1646 Volcán San Martin
1677 Volcán San Antonio
1712 El Charco
1949 Volcán Nambroque at the Duraznero, Hoyo Negro and Llano del Banco vents
1971 Volcán Teneguía

During the 1949 eruption – which commenced on the fiesta of San Juan (St John) 24 June 1949 at the Duraznero, and 8 July 1949 Llano del Banco vents on the Cumbre Vieja – an earthquake, with an epicentre near Jedy, occurred. This is considered to have caused a 2.5-kilometre-long (1.6 mi) crack which Bonelli Rubio (1950) named La Grieta – (the crack), to form, with a width of about 1 m (3 ft 3 in) and a depth of about 2 m (6 ft 7 in). It attains a maximum displacement of ~4 m (13 ft) in the vicinity of the Hoyo Negro to Duraznero vents. It is not traceable southward from the Duraznero vent. North of the Hoyo Negro it traverses downslope and is traceable for ~1500 m. The total distance from the southern rim of the Duraznero vent to the Llano del Banco is ~4 km. In 1951 Ortiz and Bonelli-Rubio published further information in respect of the eruption and associated phenomena that occurred before and during the eruption. There is no indication that the crack has penetrated the edifice of the volcano, and, due to the absence of Minas Galerias (water tunnels) within the Cumbre Vieja, there is no possibility of examining the internal structure of the flank. Carracedo et al.;. This means that claims that the flank is in danger of failing are unfounded.[original research?] However the lack of supporting evidence has not stopped claims that the flank is in danger of failing.

This is what the coast of La Palma looked like before the lava - La Palma - Canary Islands

See dolphins, pirate caves and ... houses in the rock!
La Palma is an extremely beautiful island.
Its coast is fascinating.
Unfortunately, for the first time in 50 years, the Cumbre Vieja eruption in La Palma took place.
The eruption began on September 19, 2021 and is currently ongoing.
After 9 days, the lava reached the Atlantic, creating a cloud of toxic gases and raising the temperature in the ocean.

La Palma has an area of 708 square kilometres (273 sq mi) making it the fifth largest of the eight main Canary Islands.

In the center of the island is the Caldera de Taburiente National Park; one of four national parks in the Canary Islands.

La Palma, like the other islands of the Canary Island archipelago, is a volcanic ocean island. The volcano rises almost 7 km (4 mi) above the floor of the Atlantic Ocean. There is road access from sea level to the summit at 2,426 m (7,959 ft),[4] which is marked by an outcrop of rocks called Los Muchachos (The Lads). This is the site of the Roque de los Muchachos Observatory, one of the world's premier astronomical observatories.

La Palma's geography is a result of the volcanic formation of the island. The highest peaks reach over 2,400 m (7,874 ft) above sea level, and the base of the island is located almost 4,000 m (13,123 ft) below sea level. The northern part of La Palma is dominated by the Caldera de Taburiente, with a width of 9 km (6 mi) and a depth of 1,500 m (4,921 ft). It is surrounded by a ring of mountains ranging from 1,600 m (5,249 ft) to 2,400 m (7,874 ft) in height. On its northern side is the exposed remains of the original seamount. Only the deep Barranco de las Angustias (Ravine of Anxiety) ravine leads into the inner area of the caldera, which is a national park. It can be reached only by hiking. The outer slopes are cut by numerous gorges which run from 2,000 m (6,562 ft) down to the sea. Today, only a few of these carry water due to the many water tunnels that have been cut into the island's structure.

From the Caldera de Taburiente to the south runs the ridge Cumbre Nueva ('New Ridge', which despite its name is older than the Cumbre Vieja, 'Old Ridge.') The southern part of La Palma consists of the Cumbre Vieja, a volcanic ridge formed by numerous volcanic cones built of lava and scoria. The Cumbre Vieja is active but dormant, with the last eruption occurring in 1971 at the Teneguía vent which is located at the southern end of the Cumbre Vieja, the Punta de Fuencaliente ('Point of the Hot Fountain'). Beyond Punta de Fuencaliente, the Cumbre Vieja continues in a southerly direction as a submarine volcano.

Please subscribe

New drone footage showed a secondary lava stream from the erupting Cumbre Vieja volcano engulfing greenhouses and plantations on the island of La Palma, Spain as it heads for the sea.

The lava stream, which got separated from the main one which has already reached the sea, is due to touch the Atlantic ocean entering between the beaches of Los Guirres and El Charcon.

La Palma's volcano erupted for the twentieth day on Friday, laying waste to hundreds of buildings and farms, and forcing the evacuation of thousands.

???????? UNBELIAVABLY bad scenes in La Palma, VOLCANIC ERUPTION since 30 days LAVA DESTROYS everything

The volcano on La Palma has been spitting ash, smoke and lava for a month - and there is no end in sight.
A second, more northerly lava flow is about to reach the sea. It is only a few meters away from the cliff. Almost three weeks ago the main stream reached the Atlantic a little further south on its way through the Aridane valley and has since formed a new headland in the sea that is already 36 hectares in size. The authorities warn that if the lava, which is around 1000 degrees Celsius, comes into contact with the salty sea water, toxic fumes can form.
Since the volcano became active again on September 19 for the first time in 50 years, around 2000 buildings have been destroyed and over 800 hectares of land affected.
Since September 19, over 7,000 people have had to leave their homes as a precaution.
EVERY SMALL DONATION HELPS THAT I CAN CONTINUE MY WORK.




Der Vulkan auf La Palma spuckt seit einem Monat Asche, Rauch und Lava - und ein Ende ist nicht in Sicht.
Ein zweiter, nördlicherer Lavastrom, ist dabei das Meer zu erreichen. Es ist nur wenige Meter von der Klippe entfernt. Vor knapp drei Wochen erreichte der Hauptstrom auf seinem Weg durch das Aridane-Tal etwas weiter südlich den Atlantik und bildet seitdem eine neue, bereits 36 Hektar große Landzunge im Meer. Die Behörden warnen davor, dass bei Kontakt der rund 1000 Grad Celsius heißen Lava mit dem salzigen Meerwasser giftige Dämpfe entstehen können.
Seit der Vulkan am 19. September zum ersten Mal seit 50 Jahren wieder aktiv wurde, wurden über 2000 Gebäude zerstört und über 800 Hektar Land in Mitleidenschaft gezogen.
Seit dem 19. September mussten über 7.000 Menschen vorsorglich ihre Häuser verlassen.

From Wikipedia:
La Palma, also San Miguel de La Palma, is the most north-westerly island of the Canary Islands, Spain. La Palma has an area of 708 square kilometres (273 sq mi) making it the fifth largest of the eight main Canary Islands. The total population at the end of 2020 was 85,840, of which 15,716 lived in the capital, Santa Cruz de La Palma and about 20,467 in Los Llanos de Aridane. Its highest mountain is the Roque de los Muchachos, at 2,423 metres (7,949 ft), being second among the peaks of the Canaries only to the peaks of the Teide massif on Tenerife.

In 1815, the German geologist Leopold von Buch visited the Canary Islands. It was as a result of his visit to Tenerife, where he visited the Las Cañadas caldera, and then later to La Palma, where he visited the Taburiente caldera, that the Spanish word for cauldron or large cooking pot – caldera – was introduced into the geological vocabulary. In the center of the island is the Caldera de Taburiente National Park; one of four national parks in the Canary Islands.

La Palma, like the other islands of the Canary Island archipelago, is a volcanic ocean island. The volcano rises almost 7 km (4 mi) above the floor of the Atlantic Ocean. There is road access from sea level to the summit at 2,426 m (7,959 ft),[4] which is marked by an outcrop of rocks called Los Muchachos (The Lads). This is the site of the Roque de los Muchachos Observatory, one of the world's premier astronomical observatories.

La Palma's geography is a result of the volcanic formation of the island. The highest peaks reach over 2,400 m (7,874 ft) above sea level, and the base of the island is located almost 4,000 m (13,123 ft) below sea level. The northern part of La Palma is dominated by the Caldera de Taburiente, with a width of 9 km (6 mi) and a depth of 1,500 m (4,921 ft). It is surrounded by a ring of mountains ranging from 1,600 m (5,249 ft) to 2,400 m (7,874 ft) in height. On its northern side is the exposed remains of the original seamount. Only the deep Barranco de las Angustias (Ravine of Anxiety) ravine leads into the inner area of the caldera, which is a national park. It can be reached only by hiking. The outer slopes are cut by numerous gorges which run from 2,000 m (6,562 ft) down to the sea. Today, only a few of these carry water due to the many water tunnels that have been cut into the island's structure.

From the Caldera de Taburiente to the south runs the ridge Cumbre Nueva ('New Ridge', which despite its name is older than the Cumbre Vieja, 'Old Ridge.') The southern part of La Palma consists of the Cumbre Vieja, a volcanic ridge formed by numerous volcanic cones built of lava and scoria. The Cumbre Vieja is active but dormant, with the last eruption occurring in 1971 at the Teneguía vent which is located at the southern end of the Cumbre Vieja, the Punta de Fuencaliente ('Point of the Hot Fountain'). Beyond Punta de Fuencaliente, the Cumbre Vieja continues in a southerly direction as a submarine volcano.
